WiFi speed test
- Thread starter LabR@t
- Start date
Cable up a laptop/computer/raspberry pi/whatever to your router and then test whatever device you want using wifi. There's a free iperf app on the google play store. Not sure about apple.

For the iperf 'server' Unzip and copy the files for windows into windows/system32 then run 'iperf3 -s' from command line.
For the iperf 'client' you will have to run an upload and download test separately.
'iperf3 -c <ip of server>' for upload and 'iperf3 -R -c <ip of server>' for download.
Depending on the speed of your WiFi you may want to run parallel streams to max out the connection, so add '-P 4' at the end of the upload/download commands for 4 parallel streams.
The syntax will be the same no matter what you run it on.
